Description

An imposing bay-fronted country farmhouse occupying an elevated position surrounded by established gardens and pastureland extending in all to approximately 15.843 acres (6.411 hectares), offering spacious four-bedroom accommodation, useful outbuildings including two workshops and an exciting opportunity to create a wonderful rural home in the heart of the Montgomeryshire countryside.

The property is close to the village of Garthmyl and within easy reach of Berriew, a particularly attractive village renowned for its picturesque setting and traditional character. Set back from the A483, the property is conveniently situated between the market towns of Newtown which is approximately 6.5 miles away and Welshpool approx 8 miles away with its popular tourist attraction of Powis Castle.

The property is situated on the banks of the Montgomery Canal which is a particular feature of the locality, with its peaceful towpaths providing opportunities for walking, wildlife watching and enjoying the surrounding countryside.

The property offers generously proportioned accommodation retaining a wealth of traditional character, including bay windows, exposed ceiling beams, fireplaces and other period features. Whilst the house would benefit from a programme of updating and modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity for purchasers to put their own stamp on a substantial country home, with potential for further alteration or extension, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents.
